Let me say that i watched the Xtra sports thing with drew rosenhasenfefer. the video of Feeley speaks volumes. he looked awful from what little i saw. Boston is supposedly hurt now.....or is he? how many veterans in the NFL are sloughing off right now? i would say alot. Not to make excuses for Boston, but it is still way to early for people to be reacting to media reaction. I will buy the fact that Feeley is looking bad.
The positives i can see are:
1) a new Offensive coordinator who could actually show a thing or two on game day with experience in Indy and Minny's O. I dont think this move was a downgrade. i actually think that collier was not so up to the task at hand.
2) The idea of Mcmicheal becoming a go to guy ( i dont think we did that enough under norv, which baffles me) and Lee getting more PT.
3) defenses wont be able to know who we are the first half of the season.
We are starting from scratch as far as Oline and a legit 2nd WR. I dont buy that the WR spot is in trouble. I think there will be good competition there for sure. This is a complete new offense in the mindset that we will take what a defense gives us. That means ricky wont be #1 all the time. thats a good thing. I still believe Jay Fiedler is a good QB and this change (i hope) in the mindset will mean less mistakes for jay. i can envision that. I will not ever say that Feeley is done at this juncture until the coaches see the obvious. i would say that we will not be any worse than we were. 2 things that arent even talked about would have made us 12-4 last year. the stupid Houston game and Olindo Mare. The potential for mistakes is higher though with alot of rookies and 2nd year guys in key spots. We simply need an offense that is efficient. not one that runs ricky until he bleeds. we need some serious engenuity in the passing game. that means, short stuff to set up long stuff over the course of a game. WE DID NOT GO OVER THE MIDDLE ENOUGH UNDER NORV! i think some little things like that could make us better along with mare earning his money. We have a favorable schedule. We have no excuses. this is it right here for Wanny. I dont see panic. I see a resolve to actually change things so that we utilize every player to there abilities. Wanny has to change cus he has done everything his way and it did not work. The extreme changes in the coaching staff tells me that we will be a different Offensive team. whether that comes to fruition or not will remain to be seen. But We did not lose that Houston game. the refs beat us. Mare lost the Pats game. Jay Fiedler pulled us out of our funk and beat the redskins. there are alot of positives to look at that will forever be denied becuase of hatred of Jay fiedler and Wannstedt. Dont let the extreme makover of hate sway your opinion. Let the facts remain on all sides of the equation.
